Doesn’t the new Chinese model just released actually do abstract reasoning?

DeepSeek-R1 leverages a pure RL approach, enabling it to autonomously develop chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, self-verification, and reflection—capabilities critical for solving complex problems.

To my untrained self, that sounds like reasoning.

I’d like to see them hire some formal methods people to at least formally verify crucial parts of it.

It might actually also be good to analyze it with an LLM to identify any hidden problem areas.

I’m interested to hear why my idea is probably foolish as well, though.

Documentary filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is due to make her narrative feature debut with the project

Mark my words: they GUARANTEE that it will be bad by hiring a first time director that has previously only worked in documentaries for a movie with a budget this big. How can they STILL keep making these unforced errors with billion dollar franchises?

No problem. I may actually auto-post his stuff on here every time he posts it using a bot if you’re ok with that. I do it on my other communities and it is much more reliable than I am. ;)

Ok.

To answer your rant: Morals are a social construct and can change based on situation. In other words: Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I didn’t see where you asked us to write a paragraph where one word would suffice….But, I suppose I can write you a few more sentences to appease you.

Yes. There are many situations where violence is literally the only solution. For example, violence against those committing genocide against you is actually just self-defense.

[–] demesisx 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

Yes violence is sometimes the only answer.

Edit: in response to your original, much better title (that was 100% likely censored by the neolib respectability police running world.)

Thanks! I can’t take credit. Here’s the person who created it:

Look into one Mr. Frank Grillo for all of the things you seek.

The empire has weaponized the insight that the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing, so spreading awareness of the reality that the Democrats are not good people and are not doing good things helps take away that weapon.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

In this episode of #Unshielded: A Blockchain & Data Podcast by Midnight, host Anthony Day connects with Kevin Millikin, Principal Architect for Midnight.

Join them as they discuss:

👉 An under-the-hood look at Compact as a programming language 👉 Why Midnight needs its own language, and the importance of great developer experience. Kevin highlights the differences in working with Blockchain technology 👉 A live #demo of Compact language by showcasing the code for a bulletin board app 👉 Compact roadmap: Aligning more closely with TypeScript 👉 Why developers need to join the Midnight Discord channel 👉 The need to innovate in decentralized applications

Kevin Millikin is a seasoned software architect specializing in programming language design and implementation. Currently, at Midnight, he is instrumental in developing a cutting-edge data protection blockchain platform. This innovative platform leverages zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to ensure secure computations while maintaining privacy. Kevin's work focuses on designing a domain-specific language (DSL) for smart contracts, creating a compiler targeting JavaScript, and developing a custom virtual machine runtime for on-chain computations. His expertise extends to building support libraries, developer tools, and the overall architecture that drives this privacy-focused blockchain solution.

Kevin has also worked at Google and Deep Mind and, while there, worked on an experimental Python optimizing JIT compiler using the CPython interpreter and runtime. This was open-sourced as S6 (https://github.com/google-deepmind/s6). He also worked on Alphabet-internal Python development tools, including Python static typing and static analysis of Python programs.
